KT SAT signs MoU with Rivada for next-generation data network

Sydney, Australia (SPX) May 29, 2024

KT SAT, Korea's national satellite communications services provider, and Rivada Space Networks have signed an MoU to provide next-generation connectivity for Enterprise and Government customers, enabling expansion in Asia Pacific and beyond.

KT SAT will deploy Rivada's outernet, a space-based network in low earth orbit, to provide ultra-secure connectivity to Enterprise, Government, and Maritime companies looking for scalable and resilient solutions for their expanding networks. With Asia's subsea cables increasingly becoming a focal point of geopolitical tensions, the region now needs resilient infrastructure that is fast, secure, and reliable.

For Enterprise and Government customers, the key attributes of the outernet are ideal for various applications, such as providing banks and global companies secured networks with distributed offices, offering more bandwidth for oil and gas exploration, enabling seamless connectivity for shipping and fleet management, or providing 5G satellite backhaul connectivity network expansion for cellular operators. KT SAT can offer a competitive advantage in existing network services markets by expanding these markets, enabling new opportunities through multi-gigabit bi-directional performance combined with worldwide reach.

Rivada's outernet is a global low-latency point-to-point network of 600 low earth orbit (LEO) satellites, combining inter-satellite laser links with advanced onboard processing and routing to create an optical mesh network in space. This "orbital network," where data stays in space from origin to destination, creates an ultra-secure, private satellite network with pole-to-pole coverage, offering end-to-end latencies much lower than terrestrial fiber over long distances. By routing traffic on a physically separated network, it provides a layer of defense for any enterprise or government organization needing to securely share data across Asia and beyond.

Declan Ganley, CEO of Rivada Space Networks, said: "We are delighted to be partnering with KT SAT with their long history and expertise in serving the telecoms sector in Asia Pacific. The outernet will provide secure connectivity and expanded coverage, enabling KT SAT to tap into new markets. Our unique infrastructure is what data communications has been waiting for - a game-changing constellation which re-defines connectivity in terms of security, latency, capacity, efficiency, and coverage. As a completely new type of LEO constellation, the outernet can provide the Asia Pacific region with a next-generation infrastructure for secure, resilient communications and network expansion."

Rivada will be at the Satellite Industry Forum and AsiaTechX from 28-31 May, exploring the opportunities for NGSO networks in Asia Pacific:

+ How the potential of LEO can be unlocked for data networks and services and the opportunities for new business models and end-user services

+ An ultra-secure network is the ambition for global enterprise and government communications and the dynamic powers of laser communications are key

+ Partnering with LEO enables Asia Pacific satellite and telecom operators in search of growth to complement and expand services that cannot be supported by GEO alone

To find out more, meet us at stand 5A1-3 at AsiaTechX from 29-31 May.
